When Drinking Stops Being Fun and Becomes a Problem
How do you know that you have a problem with your drinking? When is it evident that you are engaging in abusive drinking?
If you have unproductively attempted to quit drinking or if you have given your word to yourself that your drinking days are finished and then you realized that you were drinking in an excessive way just a few days later, the odds are very good that you have drinking problems. The point of emphasis is that if you have tried to quit drinking and cannot do this, then your drinking is controlling you, instead of the other way around.
Likewise, if it takes greater amounts of alcohol to get the same “high,” you probably need to recognize the fact that you have a drinking problem.
When Drinking Becomes a Major Problem
How do you know that you have a drinking problem? When is it evident that you are involving yourself in irresponsible drinking?
If you have hopelessly made an effort to stop drinking or if you have given your word to yourself that your drinking days are over and then you recognized that you were drinking irresponsibly just a few days later, the odds are very good that you have drinking problems. The point to highlight is that if you have tried to stop drinking and cannot complete the task, then your drinking is controlling you, rather than the other way around.
In much the same way, if it takes larger amounts of alcohol to get the same “high,” more likely than not you need to realize that you have a problem with your drinking.
